	2012-04-05 The main features of the new coupled ice – water circulation dynamic-thermodynamic model, developed in AARI for study of sea ice-hydrological regime of the Arctic Ocean, are described. The results of its application to reproduction of ice conditions in the Arctic Ocean and the Laptev Sea polynya formation are presented.

	2012-04-12 A couple of numerical methods for the sea-spray vessel icing are examined. The Overland method used by the National Weather Service (USA) and the method for sea-spray vessel icing based on the complex model for wind, waves, and icing, developed by AARI are considered. The hindcasts and forecasts for the Barents sea, produced by the complex AARI model, are compared to the storm warnings issued by Hydrometeorological Centre of Russia.

	2012-04-10 The obtained results of radiocarbon dating and diatom analysis of bottom sediments from 8 lakes and terrestrial deposits from 4 cores allowed describing environmental changes and diatom fl ora evolution in the Schirmacher Oasis: the shallow fresh-water lakes with diatom fl ora had existed in the oasis before Last Glacial Maximum; the time of the oasis territory recolonization by diatom fl ora is 7000-6000 yrs BP; during Holocene, the living conditions of diatom fl ora in the oasis lakes were on the whole similar to present ones; development of the diatom fl ora in different lakes was depended strongly on short-term climatic fl uctuations in the region (relative warming 3400–2600, 550–450 and 150 yrs BP; relative cooling 2200–1000, 300–200 and 100 yrs BP) and local factors.

	2012-03-19 In the study, results of in situ observations, historical data analysis and modeling are presented. Russian studies on sea ice in Grønfjorden have been carried out since 1936 nearby the Barentsburg settlement until present days with a break during the Second World War (1941–1947). After 2002, regular observations of land fast-ice in the fjord have been done by scientists from Arctic and Antarctic Research Institute in framework of a project: “Investigation of meteorological regime and climatic change on Spitsbergen”. Historical and modern data is a basis for objective estimates of seasonal evolution and long-term variability of sea ice conditions in the second half of the XX century and the beginning of the XXI century.
	M.Yu.Kulakov. About the new approach to modelling of water circulation of the Arctic seas	55
	2012-04-17 Methods of reconstruction of circulation of waters of the Arctic seas are analyzed by the example of Kara sea. The original method based on use of new coupled model of waters and ice circulation (AARI-IOCM) is offered. Circulation of waters of all Arctic ocean is simulated for the period of 2000 on 2010. The circulation pattern obtained by averaging of currents for June - September of chosen decade is described. The contribution of buoyancy-forced and wind-driven components of current in circulation of the sea is estimated.

	2012-03-15 Remarkable expansion of the grass Deschampsia antarctica take place in the vicinity of the Russian Antarctic Station «Bellingshausen». The observations being occurred ca. 30 years ago have mentioned insignifi cant role of vascular plants in the vegetation. The investigations of 2000/2001 and especially of the last years refl ect signifi cant increasing of number and size of populations and the appearance of the second Antarctic vascular plant – Colobanthus quitensis. Expansion was explained by the general worming in the region. The climate conditions in the area and the dynamic of climate changes are given. Description of Deschampsia antarctica – anatomic-morphological, geographical and ecological are given. The results of author’s observations in 2008/2009 are discussed in compare with the previous data and with the observation’s results of authors on the adjacent Livingston Island.

	2012-03-16 The peculiarities of fl aw lead freezing were studied using the conceptual thermodynamic model. Mechanism of polynya forming under wind stress was analysed. Qquantitative characteristics of sea ice evolution for the Northeastern Taimyr area of Laptev Sea were obtained with the use of NCEP/NCAR reanalysis data as the atmospheric forcing.

	2012-04-17 During the last several years the processes of the descending water at the continental slope in the region to the west of Prydz Bay, East Antarctica, were investigated at the hydrographic sections with the spatial resolution 2–3 miles. Data of CTD soundings show that Antarctic Shelf Water and Ice Shelf Water goes to the north along western border of Amery Depression and then fl ows down the continental slope in the region to the west of Prydz Channel (~72° E). Sections along 70° E were repeated 6 times from the r/v Akademik Fedorov during the period 2004–2012. Sinking of dense water plumes along continental slope was not found in the region to the east of 72° E. Descending water in the region to the west of Prydz Channel results in deep water ventilation and bottom water formation. Prydz Bay Bottom Water with the potential temperature –0,3... –1,6 °C and salinity 34,54–34,62 ‰ is found between 62 and 72° E at the depth 1300–2000 m. The results of modeling of convection with three-dimensional non-hydrostatic model for the 150 m depth basin are presented. The modeled vertical speed at the slope convection is about 1 cm/s, and the thickness of the modeled plume is about 100 m. Given the extent of the continental shelf and slope where the processes of downslope convection have been found, we can estimate the production rate of bottom water of about 1,6 Sv in the region to the west of Prydz Bay.
